The Wire Season 2 Episode 5

(to Kima, about Herc)
Carver: One more time with that toothpick and I'll stab him in the fucking eye with it.

(about Sobotka)
Lester: So you're thinkin' drugs?
Herc: In this town, what else is there?

(giving Bubbles money)
McNulty: Here, as always... cab fare.

Bubbles: What's that?
McNulty: A Baltimore knot.
Bubbles: Baltimore knot? How you do that?
McNulty: I don't know but it's never the same thing twice.

McNulty: He play you hard?
Bubbles: I go at him respectable. He put that goddamn shotgun in my face, man. I'm looking at two goddamn tubes of the Harbor Tunnel staring right at me. (McNulty laughs) Each one about yea-big. I damn near piss my pants.

Freamon: Colonel, respectfully, did you just fuck me over without giving me half a chance to clear this case?
Rawls: Let's be clear, Det. Freamon. When I fuck you over, you'll know it. You'll be so goddamn certain, you won't need to ask that question.

Kima: Cool Lester Smooth... hey, what's happenin'?
Freamon: Same fuck-ups in the same shit detail, workin' out of the same shithouse kind of office. You people lack personal growth, you know that?

McNulty: It's a look.
Omar: Naw, it ain't.
McNulty: Here, you figure it out for yourself. I'm going across the street to the Federal Building. I'll see you in about a half hour.
Omar: Hey look, man, if I ain't here, I'm round the way on Howard Street, Lydell's. Either that, or I'll be with Muffy at the club.

(after the Stewedores' Union members testified in front of the Grand Jury)
Bunk: How'd we do, Charlie?
Charlie: I almost got one to swear that the docks are actually near the water.
